Skidding Into Oblivion by Brian Hodge, part 2
Scars In Progress
A group of morons experience cosmological meltdown when they go demon hunting. This narrative is not operatic. I don't care about this shadow world of sadness and struggle. The characters are incapable of sensible action. This wasn't unnervingly awful, just awful.
Best Lines:
“Places of desolation.”
“It's very existence was poison.”
Just Outside Our Windows, Deep Inside Our Walls
An evil child gets a friend but makes an inherently damaging decision. This was not endlessly fascinating.
Best Line:
“Stand revealed as something our parents are mortified to have created.”
